Regional Consortia for High Resolution Cryo Electron Microscopy • Goal: ensure access of cryo EM laboratories to direct detection • Support consortia of established cryo EM laboratories rather than support purchase of new detectors for every lab • Consortium awards support the excess capacity at the host site in order to make it available to the regional users. • Consortia members collect data and perform initial stages of processing of raw images at host site 2
Regional Consortia for High Resolution Cryo Electron Microscopy • Multi-PI, multi-institutional consortia that comprise a host institution and regional participating institutions • Investigators may participate in more than one application to this announcement • Plan is 3.5M/year ~4 consortia/year, reissue for 2 more years 3
Budgets • Maximum $350,000 direct costs/year (5 years) for operating expenses, exclusive of consortium indirect costs. • Up to $500,000 in equipment may be requested in first year. • Budget contributes to the fixed costs of maintaining the host facility and extends services in proportion to the resources dedicated to the regional users • Budget may include support personnel, service contracts, expenses of regional users to access the host facility 4
